KILZ® ADHESION
Interior | Exterior Primer

Surface Preparation

The following steps are recommended for product performance.

• All surfaces must be clean, dry and free of oil, grease, mildew, wax, dust, flaky rust, mill scale, loose paint, chalk and other foreign matter that could interfere with adhesion.

• If washing is necessary, use a non-soapy detergent or a TSP substitute, rinse well and allow to dry.

• Remove loose rust, peeling paint and mill scale with a scraper, wire brush or sandpaper.

• Clean bare metal in accordance with SPC (The Society for Protective Coatings) specifications for the proper surface preparation of metal surfaces.

• Peeling or Checked Paint: Scrape off loose paint and sand to a smooth surface. Sanding or removal of paint containing lead is hazardous.

• Mold or Mildew Covered Surfaces: Wash the area with a mildew remover, rinse with water and allow to dry before priming.

• While KILZ ADHESION Primer is formulated to bond without sanding, it is recommended that a small area be tested for adhesion prior to beginning the job.

Application

• Wear eye protection.
• Apply using a brush, roller or sprayer.
• Brush – High quality Nylon/Polyester
• Roller – High quality 3/8-1/2" nap on smooth surfaces or 1/2-3/4" nap on semi-rough or porous surfaces.
• Airless spray – .015-.021 tip / 60 mesh filter @ 2,500–3,200 PSI
• For spray applications, a small amount of water (no more than ½ pint per gallon) may be added.
• Only apply if surface, air and product temperatures are between 50°-90°F (10°-32°C).
• Stir thoroughly before and occasionally during use.
• Prime the entire surface to ensure a uniform appearance of the topcoat.
• Finishing: Topcoat within 30 days to prevent contamination of the primer before painting.
• Tinting: May be tinted with up to 2 oz. (60 mL) of universal colorant per gallon. Tinting to a lighter shade than the topcoat is recommended.
• Coverage: 300-400 sq. ft.(28-37 m²) per gallon depending on application method and surface porosity.
